First-pass take

Traditional AV distributor with no material AI revenue exposure (internal AI use only for productivity tools). Subdued market (2025 revenue -1.5%), margin compression (40bps to 3.4% operating margin), elevated leverage (2.17x EBITDA), and vendor/geographic concentration risks. While 123% cash conversion and 17.7% gross margins provide cushion, near-term earnings decline, cyclical customer base, and uncertain 2026 outlook argue against deeper analysis.
